Here are the latest updates for using BulletBobbers provided by BulletBobber users.

Fish the entire area inside the outlined area by using the fast current indicated by the cross hatched area.
Flip the lever so you can reel out line as fast as needed to work it across the fast currents and keeping it from diving.
If it goes into a dive I pull hard making the rod bend then give it slack so it comes back up and continue to work across the fast currents.
If the fish are down in the fast currents making it dive will take your lure or bait down.
Very light repetitive popping will make the BulletBobber jiggle, plane sideways and point up providing a flutter / jigging action.



The instructions explain weight limits, how to rig it, and how to bias the flipping one way or the other.



If for any reason you don’t want it to flip…
Adding a clamp to a keel makes it much more difficult to flip direction and adding a larger clamp to far wing makes it more stable by holding down the keel.



If you want to fish deep with the BulletBobber you can drill a 1/16” hole through the peg.
As you can see I didn’t get all the way through before the drill bit came out the side but close is good enough.
To rig it thread everything like shown and then make a loop and put the peg in.
When you set the hook the loop will straighten out and everything will slide down the line so you can reel in.
If you are in a boat just hold the bobber and let your lure or bait drop to the bottom.
Then lift it up the distance you want to troll off the bottom and attach the BulletBobber with a loop.
Pull out the loop by hand a couple times to get the feel for the release sensitivity you want.



Bigger BulletBobbers can surf across faster current but the DualFin is best with bait or diving lures.

Best Fishes,

Paul from www.BulletBobber.com

Please post Southern Hemisphere instructions for our Kiwi & Aussie brethren...I would assume that it would operate differently down there.

T,

Come on, if double stacked, one would zig while the other zagged, resulting in a zug. DUH! Triple stacking however could be the ticket, and even potentially result in the counter rotating presentation favored by our aforementioned pescadores of southern latitudes.

I wonder what would happen if you strung them together and made water wings out of them.

Hmmm.

Fish on...

Todd

P.S. Or...string together a few hundred and use them for an anchor rope moose

Color-coded at 10' intervals so you can dial in scope.
Then on the singles.....I'd rig those hangback.

You could bobber-dog that mofo right through through the Lake Line.
Then slalom through the Garbage Hole.
